THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



THE DOUBLE POWER WIND MILL. 



We are continually meeting with surprises. Now 

 comes a Two-Wheeled Wind Mill with a Governor 

 that governs and wheels that run in opposite direc- 

 tions. 



The Double Power Mill Company, of Appleton, 

 Wis., are the patentees and manufacturers and claim 

 that their invention revolutionizes wind power. This 

 Company furnishes an "Insurance Policy," agreeing 

 to replace all worn-out parts and repair damage by 

 reason of wind for a term of from five to twenty-five 

 years at a cost of $1.00 per year. 



If the manufacturers' statements in their pam- 

 phlets are true (see ad elsewhere) there is no doubt 

 but what many of our readers will be interested. 



Wind furnishes the cheapest power on earth and 

 we hope the Two- Wheeled Mill will serve to solve the 



EXTENSIVE IRRIGATION PROJECTS. 



The most extensive and important irrigation proj- 

 ects in the history of this country are in process of 

 development. The public mind has gradually been 

 educated on the subject of irrigation, as the enterprises 

 now going forward prove. Fully ten million acres of 

 land are under irrigation in the United States and 

 not less than two hundred million dollars have been 

 spent in this line of enterprise. A great deal of ter- 

 ritory that otherwise would be worthless is being re- 

 claimed and in the semi-arid belts crop raising is be- 

 ing rendered more certain and land values are being 

 enhanced. 



Heyward G. Leavitt of Omaha proposes to com- 

 plete 150 miles of irigation canal in Western Nebraska 

 to cost $1,548,000. He has filed an application for a 

 permit to appropriate water with State Engineer Dob-

problem with those who are looking for the right thing 

 to pump water or run their machinery. 



Residents of the Pecos Valley in New Mexico are 

 excited 1 by the discovery that underlying more than 

 600,000 acres of desert land is apparently an inex- 

 haustible supply of water. The fame of the region has 

 spread throughout the country and even to portions of 

 Europe. The water gushes from the ground wherever 

 borings are made and pours over a thirsty land, trans- 

 forming it into a garden of almost remarkable fertility. 



son. His application is in the nature of an amend- 

 ment or an extension of the farmer's canal in which he 

 has become interested. The Farmers' Canal Company 

 has been in litigation for several years in the su- 

 preme court, but its affairs appear to be well settled 

 at this time. It has completed many miles of its 

 canal in Scotts Bluff County.

 stead of "Double Cha-in Water Elevator."
